I wonder if anybody has seen that car.
Any opinions? The price seems quite interesting.

I'm guessing Nick has seen it as it suggests he resprayed it.

So if the paints been done (assuming the body is all good) and thousands have been spent on the engine them what needs another £15,000 spending on it?

The £50k valuation seems a bit optimistic?

We did a lot of bodywork on this car about 5 years ago, and I know it had had a lot of mechanical work done elsewhere since then. I'm not sure where the £50K value for a 2.2S Targa comes from though.

What would the likely value of the end product be ?

As Bootsy says, what do MP&P list as £15K of work - that would buy a brand new suspension / brakes / interior and more ?

I liked the car although not usually a fan of Targas, but a 2.2S could appeal !

I have seen this car also read report by mpp,there is no way it's worth anything like £50k finished,please bear in mind that both coys 2.2s(non targa) sold at auction last week and both just made over £30k(lhd),both these cars were in a different league to the targa.

Hope this helps and I am sure there will be plenty of comments!

22K sounds like a low price for a 2.2s? where is the catch?

looks like rust is not the issue. Are we speaking about non-matching engine?

thanks
